In the config file, you should be able to tweak the color by changing format_info="-c white"to any color you like ;)

AFAICT, this simply isn't the case. format_info only changes the color of the "categories" in the greeter.

e.g., from

OS              Fedora Linux 37 (KDE Plasma)
Kernel          6.1.10-200.fc37.x86_64
CPU             11th Gen Intel Core i7-11850H
...

"OS, "Kernel", and "CPU" are controlled by format_info

Looks like it's actually font_color_input, in "~/.config/synth-shell/synth-shell-prompt.config"

Ohh I bad. Indeed. Setting the color for your command, what you type into the terminal, is controlled by font_color_input in ~/.config/synth-shell/synth-shell-prompt.config.

I think @ben-alkov hit the nail on the head. I'm closing this issue but feel free to reopen it if you still have problems getting the colors you want
